The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Well, I guess I'm a sinner. Named activation groups are not a good
fit for our software: a mix of multiple purchased packages (all now
supported solely by us with no vendor support and no vendor upgrades)
plus a lot of home-grown stuff. Prior to me, everything was DAG, even
the RPG IV programs.
Even though I'm not the boss, I set the rules for our true ILE
programming, which is that all *SRVPGMs are *CALLER and all *PGMs are
*NEW or *CALLER. I created standard H-spec /COPY members.
So our ILE *PGMs and our service programs quite often run in the DAG,
but we never have a problem because:
1. We never use RCLRSC.
2. I write and maintain all of the service programs, and I write the
service programs such that they run in the DAG just fine.
